Pretoria - The Presidency has confirmed that it has received the report from the Farlam Commission of Inquiry.
“President Zuma is currently in Algeria on a state visit and will prioritise the consideration of the report on his return,” the Presidency said on Tuesday.
The commission – chaired by retired judge Ian Farlam – was set up by President Zuma to investigate the tragic events which took place around Marikana mine in Rustenburg, North West province, in 2012.
At least 44 people were killed, while roughly 70 were injured and over 250 were arrested in the wake of strike-related unrest.
The President has thanked Judge Farlam and commission members Advocate Bantubonke Tokota and Advocate Pingla Hemraj as well as all witnesses who participated in the commission. - SAnews.gov.za
